WARRIORS WITH BIT OF MAGIC

Peet full of praise as his battlers hold off Wolves

- DAVE CRAVEN

WIGAN boss Matt Peet saluted his champions for coming out on top of a "strange" game after holding off Warrington's late fightback.

Livewire Aussie full-back Jai Field scored one try, had one disallowed and created two more to get Warriors in control.

Wolves struggled to contain the 27-year-old, who got Peet's side up and running with a 10th-minute effort and quickly furnished Bevan French with another.

Sam Burgess' team were missing their entire England midfield axis of stand-off George Williams, scrum-half Marc Sneyd and hooker Danny Walker.
